so i have been using s proline carbon fiber handle for a while now...i like it and it feels pretty good, but it just seems heavy. I have a LG handle that i used to use and am thinking ab switching back.

what do you guys use and what are the adv./disadv. of carbon fiber vs. regular handles. either way im prolly gunna switch back bc i know its all about personal preference. just thought it was a good question.

I do really like Carbon Handle alway have, but I dont use them any more. I got so many bruises from that damn thing smacking my legs. Also I have noticed that when your spinning sometimes really strange things happen, on HS 7s every once in a while I will snatch the handle with one finger or grab the side of the handle, its WAY easier to recover and save the trick with a traditional style handle. The fact that the handle will flex a bit if say you grab it with one finger all the way is great, it wont get ripped out of your hand.

Also, the opening on the carbon handles tend to be really small. The only close calls I have had with my arm through the handle (2), and got stuck, have been with carbon handles and I have never owned one.

I have found that sticking an arm through the handle is inevitable--if you ride long enough it is going to happen. It is the getting out that is important.

I ride a helium handle. To me it is the best of both worlds. Firm, but the V is big enough to allow an escape route.
